International Journal of Management and Marketing Research, 2010, vol. 3, issue 1, 85-102

Abstract: Interest in women entrepreneurs from various backgrounds and perspectives have led to increased publication in the literature about women entrepreneur issues. However many questions remain unanswered. This article aims to answer some of these questions by providing another perspective on women entrepreneurs. Specifically this study examines women entrepreneurs from Brasil, using a sample across racial lines. The article examines the characteristics of women entrepreneurs across three key categories: human capital, network structures as well as financial capital. The impact of various factors on the economic success of the women entrepreneurs is also analyzed.
